Brad & Angelina: Pip, Pip, Cheerio!

NY Lurker Merry Belated Christmas to you and HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Same with us, low key, very low key, most likely asleep before the ball drops, ok no key! :lol: I understand the exhaustion, please get some rest. I couldn’t do the dual Christmases, your a champ! I’m glad I missed the whole Shi thing last night. Trying to keep unstressed! Have a wonderful night, if I don’t catch you tomorrow a wonderful New Years Eve, let me know if the new ball looked pretty please, god knows I’ll be sleeping! Hugs and kisses beautiful lady!

But, but this cannot be right!!!!!! David Zayas is married. Jen would never interfere with a marriage! Be friends with a married man or share a plane with a married man or stay at the same resort as a married man. She would never ever be involved with a married man. EVER!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

goree, never be involve but she’ll play with a married man. One night stand is good enough for that hag!

goree girls=kelly marie=wtf

Ladies good night and good rest to you all! See you in the morning!

NY Lurker, I like the traditions you mentioned! The Polka dots, fruit, hey cant hurt! For some reason keeping a door or window open sounds familiar, must call the family tomorrow and check it out. If I don’t see you on tomorrow. Happy New Year! May you and yours be blessed! Thank you for all you have done for me! ((Hugs))

HAPPY NEW YEAR BAMPZS!!!!
I wsh for you to have a fruitful, happy and healthy 2008.
GOD BLESS YOU!!!

So true Sheri, so true, I guess they don’t have parents or grandparents that are willing to tell them about traditions. I knew about black eyed peas from a young age past down from one generation to another. Well thanks to your grandma, I will be putting a black eyed pea in my wallet. Good luck with those kids at the store and that is really nice what you are going to do, you are sweet

NY Lurker, Sheri and Coal— I just got my a*s kicked playing scrabble with flamingo :lol: Darn it I usaually am very good at it….
Anyhoo, last night at JJ’s bothered me alot… I know, after three years I should have a teflon skin, but when it is the kids I really get upset. Soooo, I took a mini break and I am fine and ready for tomorrow!
We are going to do something very diff this year. We are going to a new movie theater ‘movie tavern’ where they play all the new movies, but you sit at tables and they serve food and drinks thru out the movie. Since flamingo is still in a cast we thought she might enjoy it and be comfortable b/c she’ll have room to position her leg :-)

OK, Ready to celebrate the New Year ladies and gents of BAMPZSville????

HAPPY NEW YEAR JUST JARED!!!

MORE POWER IN 2008!!! MANY THANKS!!! DOMO ARIGATOU!!!

Jaxon - I think we have the same wish for 2008 LOL Well, one day here without hearing about X would be nice - can’t imagine us getting a whole year! :lol: Maybe I will wish for a faster skip and scroll feature on my laptop instead tee hee.

NYL - okay so much for getting rest tomorrow! That’s a lot of fruit darnit. One of my best friends is Chinese, Portuguese and Fillipino so she has some of the same traditions as well. Red envelopes to follow in a few weeks I guess too? Put your feet up and chill as much as you can though!

Sheri - sweet dreams babe! Pop in tomorrow if you can but if not we’ll catch up later on in the week for sure ;-)

MF - thank you so much! Just trying to get it open so I can see what I have - the suspense is killing me :-)

coal, black eyed peas and rice is a staple with southern people, mostly black. Brings good things in the New Year. My great grandmother always told us to put a dried pea in our wallets for financial luck in the New Year! Its a tradition that has been around for, oh lord ever! There are certain things you serve for good luck, roast pork, black eyed peas and rice (hoppin john) greens, corn bread all to greet the New Year and bring good fortune!
~~~~~~~~~~~
ALL??

Greens - cornbread? GMAFB SHEESH!! My ex-MIL made us eat these on New Years Day w/ neckbones and I still make them eat them but with ham hocks.Do you really have to cook them ON New Years Day??? I thought you only had to EAT them on the 1st. Well we have been pretty prosperous so I guess it has been OK but SHEESH!! could some one put out a book of these rules all ready?

Alexanderina - Happy New Year to you and your family as well. I’m glad you are only working half day. I say this all the time to my staff at work - since it is the holiday, don’t work too hard….

Hi Adromeda - Belated merry christmas and happy new year to you and your brother. How is he doing now? I hope everything is doing well with you. Take care always….

Hi Guli - good to hear that R is on her half cast now. I’m sure you are still a very good scrabble player - maybe you are just tired tonight - or perhaps you just made R win. But remember, R hasn’t had any big social life lately, and that’s one good reason of her being a straight A - so, she must have all the time reading the dictionary….

MF - do you want “lechon”? - I’ll UPS it for you, just let me know when you want it….

Coal - 13 different variety of fruits, maybe a lot. We need the Real Tita here to explain what the 13 fruits are for. Or maybe any Filipino lurking can explain….All I know is that at the end of Jan. 1st - when I was a kid, I was then allowed to eat any of the fruits I like. It maybe that these fruits are sort of an offerring to the good karma when they enter your home….For whatever its purpose, it is still good to me, coz I get to eat it later….

Great way to end the year for the fans of JP’s - “Wanted” is on Yahoo! list of the 10 most anticipated movies of 2008. Soooo looking forward to 2008!!!
